This would mean that Navy would consistently be beaten by the other colleges, and this would not look good on the crew or the Academy because the general consensus is that they should be good at all water sports.</p>

One reason is that the school does not feel that they will be able to raise enough money to have a good enough rowing program to train a team that will be able to make a good showing in the Poughkeepsie Regatta. The second reason is the size of the university. The school does not feel that it has a big enough pool from which to pick quality members for a good competing team.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that if the financial situation makes it necessary, Penn would decline going to the Poughkeepsie Regatta this year, rather than cutting some crew teams during the regular season. This decision insured that as many people would be able to participate in the rowing program at Penn this year. The article also mentions Maxwell Stevenson's (chairman of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association) announcement that at the next board of stewards meeting it would be determined if the Regatta would be held this year, and when. The outlook is favorable, however, because Navy, Columbia, Cornell, Washington, and California have all agreed to come to the Regatta this year.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the meeting of the board of stewards will be held today, and all members of the board will be in attendance. The main point of discussion at the meeting will be whether to resume the Poughkeepsie Regatta after the year off last year due to financial difficulties. Although there has been some discussion about postponing the regatta again, it is expected that the board of stewards will set a date for the regatta, regardless of how many crews are expected to attend.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the board of stewards voted to hold the Poughkeepsie Regatta again this year. The date of June 16th was suggested, and that will become the official date if the Poughkeepsie committee and the railroad company responsible for the observation trains agree with it. The Regatta will be held the same as usual, with a Varsity race of 4 miles, a junior varsity race of 3 miles and a freshmen race of 2 miles. After the meeting, invitations were sent out to all colleges that competed last year, as well as a few new ones. This year, Rutgers and Marietta of Ohio will receive invitations and hopefully join what is known as the climax of the rowing season.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article reveals that although the college community is very happy at the return of the Poughkeepsie Regatta this year, only four colleges will be sending a full set of three crews to the Regatta. Those colleges that will be participating in all races are Columbia, Cornell, Syracuse, and Navy. All other colleges are expected to send only one or two crews, and some may not be able to participate at all, such as MIT and Manhattan. The reason for the smaller amount of participants is that the economic situation in the country is still not great, and many colleges worry about having enough funds to send their crews to Poughkeepsie.</p>

Every year Navy has a practice cruise during the summer, and when the cruise is held may interfere with the school's ability to send all crew teams to the Regatta. The concern is that the crew members that have to attend the cruise may not be able to make it back in time for the cruise from the Regatta races. The article also publishes Al Ulbricksen's announcement that if Washington beats California at their yearly race on Lake Washington they will definitely attend the Poughkeepsie Regatta.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article reveals that two of Washington's varsity crew members have a slight case of the gripe, and were unable to practice today. This was disheartening news to a crew that was considered one of the favorites. The doctors believe, however, that both men will be able to be back in time for the race. Washington's crew still practiced today, using substitutes in the men's place. There was wide spread sympathy for Washington amongst all the teams today, and several schools offered the varsity crew their extra men as substitutes so that they could continue to practice while waiting for their men to heal. The article also noted how Washington was one of the few crews remaining that had an old boathouse with shower water being pumped from the river, instead of hot city water coming through pipes. The article also mentioned how Syracuse was considered to be one of the best East coast teams this year, and that their coach still had not settled on a lineup for his varsity or junior varsity teams.</p>

According to the article this was one of the most exciting races and one of the closest finishes that the regatta has ever seen. The finish was so close that nobody but the referee's knew who had won right after the race. Navy was supposed to be the major contender for the East Coast, but it was Cornell who challenged California for the title. The article describes the entire varsity race, play by play. Washington led the race for the first two and a half miles. In the first mile of the race all seven crews were locked together, with no open water between anybody. After the first mile the crews began spreading out. When Cornell made its move it went from 5th place to 2nd place, and fought with California the entire way down, resulting in an incredibly close finish. Washington was somewhat disappointed by the result, their freshman and jayvee teams had both easily won their races, and Washington was hoping to sweep the Hudson, but it wasn't to be.  The time of the winners, 18:52 was the second best time that has ever been rowed on the Hudson. The article also reports that due to the weather, the crowd was smaller this year than ever before. The article describes what the day was like in Poughkeepsie, starting off slowly because of the rain, and then gradually picking up pace until the city was packed with spectators.

No team had won all three races at Poughkeepsie since 1912 and the Washington Huskies rowed their way into history with their brilliant display. Cornell, the hope of the East Coast was never able to get going, and Navy ended up having the best showing for the East coast teams. The conditions for the races were ideal, and one of the biggest crowds in history gathered to watch, numbering close to 70,000 spectators. All three races began almost exactly on time. The freshmen race was hard fought between California and Washington, but the Huskies eventually prevailed to have a one length victory. The same occurred with the Junior Varsity race. In each race Washington stroked low until the end where they turned it up to pass all those in front of them. This should have prepared spectators for the Varsity race, but it did not. After the start Washington stroked very low and was in last place for the first three miles of the four mile race and the crowd all but forgot about them; they were more concerned with the magnificent fight going on between California, Navy, and Columbia. However at the start of the last mile Washington kicked it up into high gear jumping from stroking a 30 to a 35. Someone spotted them moving up past all the crews in front of them and the crows went absolutely wild. Don Hume, the stroke of the Huskies continued to push his crew higher, until they were stroking an almost unheard of 40. They passed California a few feet from the finish to win the most brilliant and exciting race that the Poughkeepsie Regatta had ever seen.  This page has two pictures on it and four charts.</p>

California and Syracuse both brought Varsity and freshmen teams with them, while Wisconsin, on the river for the first time in half a dozen years, only brought a Varsity squad this year. All teams, including Columbia and Navy, had good workouts on the river today. Everyone appears to be in good form. Once Washington and Cornell arrive, the full contingency will be on the Hudson preparing for the showdown that will happen in one week.</p>

The day was very hot so not much practice was accomplished during the day, but at night all crews were out on the water putting in practice runs, with Navy doing more work than anyone. Cornell has the heaviest crew on the Hudson this year, and Washington looked to be in as wonderful form as they were when they swept the Regatta and won the Olympics the year before.</p>

Washington's Varsity and Jayvee went head to head on the Hudson, and they finished in a dead heat. The author describes the race as one of the best four mile crew races that the Hudson had ever seen, and the crews were from one school. Only once in the history of college four-mile racing has there been a dead heat. The tie was between Oxford and Cambridge, and it occurred in 1877. After the spectacular showing by both crews, the coach, Al Ulbrickson announced that the Varsity would definitely be rowing in the big race at the Regatta. </p>

Navy is also considered to be a serious contender, and California, although much weaker than they have been in past years is still a dangerous threat. The start of the race is going to be one of the earliest it has been in a long time. The freshmen will kick things off at 3:00, and if all goes according to plan the Varsity race will begin at 5:00. A huge observation train of 21 cars will be filled to capacity, and the Coast Guard is expecting the biggest flotilla of yachts and chartered steamers, including two Hudson River Day Liners, that this race has ever seen.

State Troopers were stationed before each boathouse, and nobody without official business would be bothering the waiting oarsmen. Everyone was out for some light practice today and the opinion still remains the same. Washington is largely considered the favorite, with Navy and California considered strong possibilities for second. It is also speculated that Washington could repeat its brilliant sweep performance of last year, although the freshmen race is considered to be anyone's race.

	  <p class="summary">This article reveals that although Al Ulbrickson, coach of the Huskies, was very pleased by the performance his boys put on today on the Hudson, he definitely had not expected another sweep of the Regatta. Many coaches expressed their admiration for the Washington crews, acknowledging that many other crews, particularly Navy rowed great races, but in the end none of them were a match for the power and skill of Washington. Ulbrickson expressed hope for next year as well, despite the fact that he will be losing five men from his varsity squad.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article recounts some amusing stories and interesting bits of information about the Poughkeepsie Regatta this year. This year there was a phantom boat race. Because of the rain the Freshmen race was delayed an hour, however for some reason the observation train took off and started toward the finish line anyway. The train is always the signal to the onlookers that the race has begun, so when the train began to move, everyone got to their feet and strained their eyes for a look at the race, except there was nothing to see. The article also mentions that one spectator watched all three races through a periscope, even though there was nobody standing in front of him.

	  <p class="summary">This article briefly describes the Jayvee and freshmen races. Washington easily took command of both races, barely ever contending with anybody. The freshmen rowed beautifully and the Jayvees smashed the record set for the Jayvee course, coming in at 13:44. The previous record was 14:18 3/5, and set by Navy back in 1928.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that Washington once again swept the Poughkeepsie Regatta and won all three races on the Hudson. This is the first time in the history of college rowing that a school has swept a championship two years in a row. With the exception of the coxswain, the Washington Varsity crew was exactly the same as the one who finished the sweep of the Hudson last year, and those men have written their names into history. Besides winning all three races, the varsity beat the record set by California in 1928 by 2 3/5 of a second. The article goes on to describe the Varsity race in detail. Although there was a fight for the first two miles, once Washington began moving forward there was no stopping. They ended the race with almost four lengths of open water between them and their closest competitor, Navy. In the end of the race Navy had to battle it out with Cornell for second place, but in the end the Middies held out. California was never a contender in the race.

New York Times, December 16, 1937; Page 37, Col. 1; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article announces that a proposition has been put to the members of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association to drop the length of the Poughkeepsie Regatta from 4 miles to 3 miles. The major reason for this proposed change is that Pennsylvania, one of the founders of the Association had to drop out of the Regatta because they claimed it was impossible to train their men for a four mile race at home. The coaches' feel that Pennsylvania, as one of the founders, should be able to race in the Regatta, and therefore the length of the course should be dropped to accommodate them. Possibly in the minds of the coaches as well is that western crews have been dominating the Regatta for some time now, and because of weather differences, the western crews are able to train longer for the Regatta than the eastern crews. Perhaps if the Regatta was dropped to a length of 3 miles it would even the odds for all crews. A few other minor adjustments were suggested at the meeting as well. As of yet, nothing has been decided upon.</p>

This year the tentative date was set for June 27th, and the freshmen race is set to kick things off at 2:45. Invitations were sent out to the usual group of schools. It is expected that the West Coast schools will accept while the East Coast schools will not. In addition to these orders of business, however, the stewards also considered the request that the Varsity race be shortened from four miles to three miles. After careful consideration the stewards unanimously voted to reject this proposal. There were several reasons for the rejection, but the biggest reason was that they felt that the Poughkeepsie Regatta would lose some of its prestige if the race was shortened from the classic and traditional four miles.</p>

Poughkeepsie does not have as many yachts and boats show up as the Regatta down in New London does, but there is still a large amount. The Hudson cannot be beaten when it comes to scenery and beauty, however there are not as many coves to anchor in, and if forced to anchor on the side of the river yachts are often knocked about by the wash of the river steamers that are constantly going up and down the river. Despite this inconvenience, however, the Hudson is still a breathtaking place to sail, and many find the lost night or two of sleep is well worth the excitement of watching the Regatta at Poughkeepsie.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article describes the workout activities of the colleges participating in the Regatta this year. The article especially focuses on California and Washington, the two western powerhouses that have dominated the Regatta for many years now. California appeared to be in beautiful condition and their hopes are really high. Washington has not been able to put in as hard workouts as they are accustomed to, due to rough water, but their coach intends on making up for that here on the Hudson. Their veteran stroke, Hume, lost two weeks of training because he had boils, and his weakness was evident in today's workout, but the coach is confident that he will be able to bring himself back into top condition for the race. There is serious concern on the Navy squad that Bullard, their number 2 spot on the Varsity squad is not recuperating as he should from the ptomaine poisoning he suffered. If he is not recovered in time Bill Croft will have to fill in his spot. There is a picture of Washington practicing on the Hudson.</p>

The only team that had a double workout was Washington's boat with their stroke Dom Hume. The Huskies are trying to get him back into racing condition, and although they haven't put their whole strength into any race yet they appear to be working well and it looks as though Hume will be able to row at the Regatta. Prospects do not look so good for the injured men of Columbia and Navy, however, and they are not healing well. The biggest surprise on the river so far has been Syracuse, who have been rowing very easy practices since they arrived. This is in sharp contrast to the hard workouts they usually have prior to the Regatta.</p>

California came in second; almost winning the race, but Navy came back in the last 200 miles to take the title. Not far behind was Washington in third. All the crews rowed excellently, however, and were all bunched together for most of the race. The conditions made for very fast racing and the first four crews to cross the finish line all came in under the record set last year by Washington. California's freshmen finally beat the undefeated Husky Cubs in a photo finish, but Washington won the Junior Varsity race, to the surprise of many, including them. Because of the weather, however, this Regatta had the smallest crowd of spectators Poughkeepsie has seen in years. The observation train and yachts were full, but the shorelines, which are usually packed, were surprisingly empty.

	  <p class="summary">This article is a letter to the sports editor of the New York Times. The author wants to know why the Poughkeepsie Regatta is never held on a weekend. They feel that there are many fans out there who would love to attend the Regatta, but are unable to because they can't take time off in the middle of the week. The editor replies that the Regatta's date is picked so that the race occurs at the best tide conditions. The editor also feels that they may avoid weekend dates to avoid an overwhelming amount of onshore and aquatic traffic.</p>

All the usual candidates were invited, and it is expected that most will accept. It is unsure if Pennsylvania will re-enter the Regatta this year. Some believe that since Navy beat the hold the West had over the Regatta, it will encourage Pennsylvania to join once again.</p>

Washington's coach thinks his crew is very well prepared and could win if they row to their potential. He also acknowledges that there are many other very good crews in the race, most notably California, and it will be tight competition. All crews were able to put in a workout today, but those who wanted a second workout at night were held up yet again because of bad weather. There is a picture on this page.</p>

Both California and Washington beat the record set last year by Navy. Syracuse won a very close Jayvee race, and Washington won the freshmen race by a mere foot over Columbia. The freshmen and Jayvee races were very exciting for the 20,000 spectators to watch. Washington barely held off the bid of Columbia for the freshmen race. Syracuse lost its lead to Washington in the Jayvee race, only to dig deep and pass them at the very end to win the race. The Varsity race was not as suspenseful since halfway through the race it was clear that the winner would be one of the Western crews. Garhart, the ill member of the Husky Cubs made it back in time to help his crew win the freshmen race. The rest of the article describes in detail how the Varsity race played out.

This year's Regatta was hard-fought and also very unusual. There was a horrible wind that made the river a mess of waves. The Jayvee race had only gone one mile when it was called to a halt with four crews underwater and another with a boat that was smashed beyond repair. The Varsity event was postponed three hours while waiting for the weather to cooperate, and when they finally did get underway it still wasn't great conditions. Despite this, Washington, Cornell, Navy, and Syracuse all fought gamely for the win, and in the last mile Washington and Cornell each had the lead twice before Washington managed to hold onto the lead till the finish. The Jayvee race went off after the Varsity event for the first time in history, with no spectators because it had already been announced that the event was cancelled. The Junior Varsity crews were at the starting line, however, and insisted on running their race.

The oarsman was Gene Remmer, and it was reported afterwards that his collapse was due to stomach cramps, and was going to be just fine. The loss of a man was costly to Columbia however, as they fell from fourth to last place. The weather conditions were beautiful, and many people were having picnics while waiting for the races to start. The observation train was once again a big seller for tickets, although there was not much cheering coming from the train, the reason being that the Western Crews once again dominated the Regatta.</p>

He feels there are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that the Western crews have a longer period to prepare for the Regatta because of the warmer climate. He still believes that the Western crews are a crucial part of the Regatta, and instead of eliminating them, he thinks that the race should be shortened from four miles to two miles.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article is written by a disgruntled reader, who is upset that the West keeps winning the Poughkeepsie Regatta, and how their crews are looked upon as superior. He believes the reason the West has been so dominant and "superior" is because the West has a longer training period than the East. He believes that the stewards should dictate when training for the season can begin, so the East and the West can start at the same time, or the West should not be invited to the Regatta and have their own race on the West Coast. At the end of the article, the editor points out that there is already sectional races, and nobody can control the climate, so why punish the West because they have nice weather sooner than the East Coast does.</p>

The reasons behind this decision to temporarily move the Regatta all have to do with the war. The biggest reason is that because of the war, college schedules have been moved up. Summer school sessions will be starting earlier, so the Regatta must be held early in June, unfortunately the earliest it can be held on the Hudson because of the tides is June 13th, and that's too late. It will also cost a lot of money to open the Poughkeepsie boathouses for the necessary time for the crews to adjust to the Hudson, and there most likely will be no observation train because it was dismantled for use in the war.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Poughkeepsie Regatta will be cancelled for this year. Because of the war, all schools have different schedules, and a common date in which most schools would be able to attend was unable to be found. The stewards decided that they did not want to hold the Regatta at all without a good representative entry of the rowing schools in the United States, so they chose not to have the Regatta at all. It has not been determined for how many years this cancellation will last. There have only been two other interruptions in the history of the Regatta. The first during the First World War, in the years 1917 through 1919, and once during the Great Depression in the year 1933.</p>

There has been no Poughkeepsie Regatta held since 1941. One of the biggest factors in the Regatta's absence has been the ability to transport shells, since most of the trains were disassembled to be used for the war effort, and that is still an issue this year. There will be a very short race held on the Severn, and Navy will be providing all the equipment to participating schools. This will hopefully start to get America's rowing schools back into physical and mental shape to resume the Poughkeepsie Regatta soon.</p>

New York Times, January 27, 1947; Page 20, Col. 1; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Poughkeepsie Regatta will be resumed this year after a five year gap. The only change will be that the Varsity race will be three miles long instead of four miles long this year. Washington was the last school to win the Poughkeepsie Regatta back in 1941, and all the usual schools are expected to be invited. The article also lists, for those who had lost track in the five year hiatus, which schools had won the Varsity event, and how many Times they took home that honor. Cornell is still easily on top, with fifteen Poughkeepsie Regatta championships, even thought the last time Cornell won the Regatta was back in 1930.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announced that Princeton has been invited to attend the Poughkeepsie Regatta this year, and they accepted the invitation. They will definitely be sending a Varsity and a freshmen crew, and they will try to find the necessary funds to send their Junior Varsity crew as well.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that a record breaking eleven crews will be participating in the Varsity race at the Poughkeepsie Regatta. The highest number of crews prior to this year was nine. In addition, the varsity race will be three miles this year, instead of the traditional four. The Board of Stewards is still deciding where to put the finish marker.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Board of Stewards has chosen the finish line for the Poughkeepsie Regatta to be a few yards north of the Mid-Hudson Bridge. This will be a perfect vantage point because the high hills on both sides provide good spectator viewing.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that Washington will be sending all three of their crews to the Poughkeepsie Regatta this year. Their Faculty Athletic Committee voted to send the Freshmen crew after they beat California's freshmen crew by five lengths.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article discusses the upcoming Regatta. The Western crews are, as usual, looked upon as potential winners, but unlike previous years, they are not looked upon as unbeatable. Many people feel that the East has a very good chance to win the Regatta. Navy, Cornell, and Princeton have all made the best impression out of all the Eastern eights. The article also mentions that the Board of Stewards rejected the request of many of the coaches that all of the crews be moved into the middle of the river. Some coaches fear that the crews closest to the banks will be handicapped by the wind, and the ones in the middle of the river will have an unfair advantage.</p>

New York Times, June 21, 1947; Page 12, Col. 6; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article discusses the Poughkeepsie Regatta that will be taking place tomorrow. For the first time in years an Eastern crew is regarded as the crew to beat. Navy has a big and powerful crew, which will put them at a big advantage if there is bad weather. Washington and California are still considered to be big contenders, but there are several crews from the east this year that will give them a run for their money. There will be no observation train this year, due to the war, and that has put a damper on the race. In addition, there does not seem to be as much excitement about the Regatta as there has been in previous years.</p>

New York Times, June 22, 1947; Section 5, Page 1, Col. 8; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article announces that Navy broke the winning streak of the Western crews and won the Poughkeepsie Regatta, with Cornell following in a very close second. Washington was in third, California fourth and Princeton came in fifth. Washington started out the day by winning the freshmen race, and California took the jayvee race. The varsity race was a very hard fought battle; both Navy and Cornell rowed brilliantly, and they clearly out-rowed the Western crews in this race. The weather was beautiful, but there was not a very large crowd at this Regatta. This was partially due to the lack of the observation train. The remainder of the article gives a more detailed account of the Varsity race. This article has one picture.</p>

New York Times, June 22, 1947; Section 5, Page 5, Col. 1; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article discusses this year's Poughkeepsie Regatta. There were not nearly as many spectators as there have been in previous years. It is believed that a big reason for this was the lack of the observation train. Most of the spectators only got a couple of glimpses of the Regatta, instead of a good view. Luckily they were kept informed because of a ship to shore radio system that was hooked up to give the spectators the play by play. There were many pennants up, and pretty much every school had an even number of them, but there still was not the old Regatta atmosphere in Poughkeepsie as there had been in past years. No betting was made on the race because there was no clear cut favorite. This page has two charts on it.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Poughkeepsie Regatta will be held on June 22nd this year, which only gives coaches a week to prepare their crews for the Olympic time trials, but it could not be helped. The freshmen race will kick things off at 5:30 p.m., with the Junior Varsity following at 6:00 and the Varsity race beginning at 6:45. Planners are trying to revive the observation train for this year's Regatta, but it is uncertain if the train will be able to come back.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Washington freshmen crew team will be going to the Poughkeepsie Regatta to defend their title from last year. Head coach Al Ulbrickson recommended sending the cubs and the faculty athletic committee approved the recommendation, despite the fact that it is not the school's policy to send the freshmen every year.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces what lanes were drawn for the Poughkeepsie Regatta by which schools. Ironically the two top Eastern schools, Navy and Cornell will be racing with one lane between them on the western shore of the Hudson, and the two top contenders of the West Coast, Washington and California, will be racing with one lane between them on the eastern side of the river.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article discusses the Regatta that will be held the next day. The favorites are considered to be, in no particular order, Navy, Cornell, Washington, and California. Princeton is also considered to have a shot at winning the Regatta. There has been much talk that Poughkeepsie will no longer be the host of the Regatta, and that Seattle, with its roomy crew quarters is being looked upon with interest. The citizens of Poughkeepsie are trying to stir up the pre-war interest in the Regatta to keep this from happening. They are hosting a series of events, including a parade, dinners, dances, and the crowning of the Regatta queen.</p>

New York Times, June 23, 1948; Page 34, Col. 1; Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.</p>
	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the University of Washington swept the Poughkeepsie Regatta, an accomplishment that hadn't happened since 1937, ironically by the Huskies. California came in second in the big race, coming from behind to just beat Navy out. M.I.T. had an excellent day, coming in fifth in the varsity race, and fourth in the freshmen. This was a wonderful improvement from a team that has consistently come in last place. Washington never really had a fight for any of the races; they took command very easily. The conditions were great for racing, although not good enough to set any course records. There was a good crowd of spectators watching the Regatta, despite the fact that there was no observation train yet again. This article has one picture and one chart.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Poughkeepsie Regatta will be held next year on June 25th, which is a Saturday, and there is a hope that the observation train may run this year. Nothing is guaranteed, but there is now room for hope that a new train can be assembled so spectators can watch the Regatta from the moving stadium. The Times for the races are tentatively set at 4:00 p.m. for the freshmen race, Junior Varsity at 4:45, and Varsity at 5:30 p.m. These Times are earlier than normal, and may be pushed back. It was also decided that there should be a color scheme developed so that spectators can identify which crews are which while they are on the river. </p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that California won that year's Poughkeepsie Regatta. Washington came in second place, and Cornell came in third. The West dominated the races again today, with Washington winning the freshmen and Junior Varsity races. The weather was terrible. It down poured for most of the day, and visibility was very poor. The races were continually delayed, and the Varsity race ended up going before the Junior Varsity. The rest of the article describes in more detail how the Varsity race played out.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Board of Stewards is considering the invitation from Marietta, Ohio to hold the yearly Regatta of the IRA at their site for 1950. The Regatta has been held on the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie since 1895. The offer made by the Marietta Rowing Committee is apparently very tempting, and the Board of Stewards plans on inspecting the site in person to see if a switch will be made.</p>

	  <p class="summary">This article reveals that Poughkeepsie has been asked to put up $10,000 in order to hold the Regatta there again this year. Poughkeepsie had already guaranteed $6,000 towards the Regatta and the mayor announced that he would ask the City Council for another $4,000.

	  <p class="summary">This article announces that the Board of Stewards for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association has decided to move their annual Regatta to Marietta, Ohio. For 55 years the Regatta was held at Poughkeepsie on the Hudson River, but all that tradition could not beat the offer that Marietta held. There are no tides on the Ohio River, and there will be an observation train, two things that the Hudson River cannot give the IRA. In addition, Marietta is going to raise $15,000 - $20,000 for the Regatta, the rowers will be housed at the local college, and new boathouse facilities will be built. It is doubtful that the Regatta will ever return to Poughkeepsie.</p>
